This organization was perfected at Highmore in 1884 at the house of Mrs. Philena Johnson, and of the charter or original mem- bers Mrs. Johnson, alone remains. There are several different branches of work connected with the order, among which is the L. T. L. especially for children, also a young women's society. The object of this order is not to fight the saloon direct by enforcement

The order here was established by Mrs.

CHURCHES
METHODIST
The first church organization in Highmore was the Methodist Church. It was incorporated under the general law of the Terri- tory by articles of incorporation dated June 18, 1883, which articles provided among other things that there should be trustees to man- age its affairs, of numbers not under three and not over nine, and that the incorporated name of the organization should be "The First Methodist Episcopal Church of Highmore." Article five of its incorporation papers provides that F. Henderson, D. S. Warner, E. Wisson, A. N. Van Camp, O. C. Cole and A. E. Van Camp act as trustees to serve until an election of such officers. On Nov. 5, 1883, the board of trustees decided to select the south 15 feet of lot 6 and all of lots 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 in Block 13 of Van Camp and Olds addition to the town of Highmore, as a site for church building and these lots are still church property and are the site of the present church building. Arrangements were immediately made for the erection of a church building, which upon completion was dedicated May 3, 1885. The dedication exercises were of an impressive character. An able sermon was delivered by Dr. Ira M. Pardee;Mrs. Eli Johnson presided at the or- gan, and the choir consisted of Mrs. A. N. Van Camp, Mrs. Grant,

Mr. G. H. Wareham and Mr. O. P. Everhard, with Fred Gowdy, cornetist. After the exercises there was raised by subscription the sum of $1424. 18, and it was then announced that the church in- debtedness, by the above amount with money from other sources, in all about $2500, was fully provided for. On the 15th day of July, 1885, this church building was entirely destroyed by the cyclone which struck Highmore from the north west on that day. That was a great hardship to the Methodist people, there being no insur- ance and it came so soon after the building had been erected and after a generous contribution to pay for it, but it was not long be- fore the effort began for another building, and while the movement was necessarily slow, it was fully accomplished by the building of the present church, which was dedicated July 18, 1886. At the dedication about $1000 was raised to liquidate the debt, which placed the church on a good financial basis.
Our people were quite liberal in the building of this second church, aided by benevolent societies and persons from abroad.
The following are the names of the pastors in regular succes- sion : J. C. Shebland, J. T. Blakemore, J. W. Scott, T. H. Garvin, John G. Palmer, A. M. Ward, E. S. Darling, J. W. Stokesbury, J. E. Norvell, A. W. Thurston, J. J. Ramsey, C. G. Paulson, A. C. Maclean, A. F. Stiles, Charles O. Thibodeau, Mr. Snell, J. D. Sparks, H. K. Wallis.
The present church trustees are B. A. Foote, H. H. Bloomen- shine, C. P. Swanson, John Mclaughlin, and G. W. Mclaughlin.
The present pastor of the church, H. K. Wallis, graduated from Boston College at Boston, Massachusetts, also from George- town College in Kentucky. He is a sincere, conscientious man, is not narrow in his views, is quite a reader and thinker, and unusual- ly entertaining in the pulpit. He has a good congregation, who worship in a fine church building with very comfortable conven- iences. They have a very fine parsonage property, consisting of several lots and a commodious residence building.

CATHOLIC
Catholic Church services were the first of any religious services held in Highmore, held at the railroad station, kept by Samuel Major. Services were continued here at different residences until the completion of the McGlinchy opera house, when they were held there until their new church building was ready for occupancy.
The church was erected in 1905, and dedicated Tuesday, November 20, 1906. Owing to the inability of Bishop Thomas O'Gorman of Sioux Falls to have charge of the dedication, the Vicar General, Mgr. O'Flynn took charge of the services, as-

CHRISTIAN
The Christian church society was organized in Highmore July 25, 1897, with sixty four charter members. They erected a taber- nacle in which to worship and hold religious meetings, and which was used by them for several years, but not intended as a perma- nent church building. In 1904 the present church building was erected and was dedicated August 21, 1904. At that time the church had a membership here of one hundred. The present church trustees are J. W. Keiser, H. B. Young and C. A. Gray.
Its first pastor was Rev. G. W. Elliott, who is now pastor of a church at Bethany, Neb. The present pastor is Rev. L. W. Thompson, who is a well educated man, attractive and forceful in the pulpit, and highly respected as a citizen.
CONGREGATIONAL
The Congregational church was organized on the first Sunday in July, 1883. Its charter members were Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Gowdy, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Harris, Miss Emma Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Y. T. Hatch, Miss Lida Hatch, Miss Addie Hatch, Mrs. P. E. Johnson, Mrs. W. A. Sargent, Mrs. J. L. Greene, Mrs. O. M. Van Swearingen, Miss Bertha Van Swearingen, Mr. Andrew Long. Mrs. G. W. Churchill, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gay, Miss Kate Ingalls, Miss Annie Ingalls, Mr. Albert Grant, and Mrs. Ann Hazen.

land, and came from London to this country in June, 1905. After his arrival he visited with friends in Centerville, and Wakonda, South Dakota, and then accept- ed a call to the pastorate of the Congregational church of Het- land, this state. His pastorate continued there until the time of his resignation, previous to his present pastorate at High- more, which commenced June I, IS07. Mr. Watson is an agree- able, gentlemanly man, is a thinker and student, his views are not narrow or radical upon any subject, and his discourses are quite entertaining. His wife is a pleasant, English born lady, and together they reside in the church parsonage. REV. J. WATSON

CHAPTER VII
EDUCATIONAL
If there is one thing more than another, in which the state of South Dakota feels a just pride, it is its system of education, and Hyde county is not behind any other in its desire to have the best of schools.
If any boy or girl living in this county grows up to manhood or womanhood without a good common school education the fault must be charged to the child or the parents, and not to any lack of opportunity.
The bureau of education at Washington has stated the fact to be, that South Dakota had the smallest amount of illiteracy of any state in the union. Up to 1890 the school system of the county was, in a loose way, in keeping with other affairs.
The office of county superintendent was simply nominal until the election of T. E. Price, who took much interest in the schools, and from that time on, the office of superintendent became one of much importance and since then has been admirably filled. The present superintendent, W. N. Van Camp, has taken much interest in the schools of the county, and under his administration they have materially advanced.
When the court house burned June 20, 1892, all records of the office of county superintendent were destroyed, and all of the facts in regard to the schools prior to this time were given from memory by the old settlers. The first school building in Hyde county was what is known now as the old Grand Army building, and was lo- cated back of where the Congregational church now stands. The first teacher was A. W. Furnese. He was followed by Miss Clara Gadd, now Mrs. J. E. McDonald. Of the pupils who attended this

first term of school in Hyde county nearly all are now scattered but of those who attended and are still residents of Hyde county we can name Mrs. I. M. Burnside, who was Jessie McDonald, H. A. McDonald, who was then known as Harve; they then lived on a farm about four miles southwest of Highmore and every day used to bring their dinner, as did J. K. Van Camp and W. N. Van Camp who served as county superintendent during the years of 1905 and 1908 inclusive. George C. Stoner, later one of the publish- ers of the Highmore Herald, was also a pupil of Miss Gadd, as was Shreve Van Camp, who for years has been Deputy Post Master of Highmore. Of pupils who attended this first school and have since moved away we can name Don B. Johnson, who now resides in Los Angeles, Cali- fornia, Annie Patterson, now the wife of R. C. Sanders living in Pierre, S. D., and Emily Patter- son, now Mrs. Ellsworth France, living in Wenatchee, Washing- ton.
W. N. VAN CAMP
Several years afterward bonds were voted for the erection of a two room school house on the site of the present school building and the first Principal of the City Schools was Enoch Vernon. He was followed in order by W. J. Merriss and W. S. McVey, who is still a resident of Hyde County and one of the prosperous farmers of Bramhall township. Mr. McVey's assistant was a Miss King, who later became his wife. Another early principal of the schools was A. J. Leatherman, who was later drowned in the Missouri river

W. G. Jolly was principal of the schools for 1897 with Mrs. A. J. Beardsley as assistant.
P. E. Gilligan followed Mr. Jolly and had charge of the city schools during 1898-9-00-01. Mrs. Beardsley was continued as as- sistant during the four years that Mr. Gilligan was in charge and in the year 1901 a third room was added with Miss Nellie Lesh as teacher.

In 1902 Bruce McVey was elected principal with Clara Tryon and Maud H. Latta as assistants.
In 1903 Mr. McVey was in charge assisted by Maud Jones, Maud H. Latta and W. N. Van Camp, a fourth room being added during the year on account of the increased attendance.
The teachers in 1904 were Bruce McVey, principal, with L. A. Sherer, Mary A. Hamlin and Alta Swartout, assistants.
In 1905 F. G. Allen was elected principal with Pauline De Lange, Nettie W. Welch and Florence Walker, assistants.

The Public school system of South Dakota is at least the equal to that of any other state in the union.
In 1898 a State Course of study was adopted and made a J. E. VAN CAMP part of the school law, which insures a uniformity of education throughout the state. The common school is divided in eight years or grades, and upon the completion of the eight years work, pupils in rural districts have their tuition paid in a neighboring High school by their home district.
During the early years it was thought best to have three or four schools in each township, but in later years experience has demonstrated that by combining all of the pupils in a township that

a better school could be maintained, so that now in South Dakota, as in the more advanced eastern states, the centralized school has come to stay. The boys and girls of today little realize the im- proved condition of the school system under which they labor of what it was 20 years ago; often times then the school house was of sod or constructed of rough boards and covered with tar paper; now when they take up their daily work in the school room it is generally in a nicely painted, modern
school building, the grounds dotted with trees, and in many cases over the building floats the flag; inside many beautiful pic- tures are hung on the wall, also a splendid school library, as well as numerous apparatus, which goes to make the work of the teacher and pupil more pleasant and easy.
